Task force on Minn. high schools taking shape
A task force asked to suggest ways to design an accountability system for Minnesota high schools is seeking suggestions itself.
The panel created this spring by the Legislature is soliciting advice through July 15 on the key issues it should tackle.
From there, the task force plans to produce a report on high school assessments and accountability.
Preliminary recommendations could be out this fall, and the goal is to deliver a final report to the state education commissioner and lawmakers by year's end.
Members of the task force are from organizations focused on K-12 schools, higher education and business.
Public comments are being accepted through the Department of Education's Web site.
